If you’ve hit 40 and suddenly your go-to weight loss tricks stopped working, you’re not imagining things. Losing weight after 40 is a completely different game — and it’s not just about willpower or cutting carbs. Your body changes dramatically in your 40s, from slowing metabolism to hormonal shifts, and those changes make losing weight much harder than it used to be.
That’s exactly why so many people in Atlanta turn to Dr. Monte Slater at Slater Aesthetics for medical weight loss solutions designed specifically for people over 40. As a double board-certified physician with expertise in anti-aging, hormone optimization, and medical weight management, Dr. Slater helps patients reboot their metabolism, balance hormones, and finally break through stubborn weight loss plateaus — all with personalized, doctor-led care.
Starting around age 40, your metabolic rate naturally decreases — meaning you burn fewer calories at rest. Even if you’re eating the same foods and exercising the same way, your body holds onto fat more easily.
For women, perimenopause and menopause trigger drops in estrogen and progesterone, which can cause your body to store more belly fat and lose lean muscle mass. For men, testosterone levels gradually decline, leading to slower metabolism, muscle loss, and weight gain — especially around the midsection.
Between work, family, and life, stress tends to skyrocket after 40. That stress triggers an increase in cortisol, a hormone that encourages your body to store fat — especially in the abdomen.
After 40, muscle mass naturally decreases if you’re not actively maintaining it — and muscle is a key driver of calorie burning. Less muscle = fewer calories burned = easier weight gain.
At Slater Aesthetics, Dr. Monte Slater takes a science-backed, medical approach to weight loss that goes far beyond diet and exercise advice. Every patient receives a personalized weight loss plan tailored to their hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle — all overseen by a double board-certified physician with more than 30 years of experience.

❌ Hormonal imbalances❌ Metabolic slowdown❌ Stress-related fat storage❌ Muscle loss

Q: What’s the best way to lose weight after 40?The most effective approach is medically supervised weight loss with hormone testing, personalized nutrition, and prescription medications when needed. A doctor who specializes in weight loss after 40, like Dr. Slater, can create a tailored plan for your unique body.
